1 This intellectual heritage is the secret tradition which was inherited knowledge passed on through generations of

an initiated elite, and also ancestral knowledge inherited directly from what might be termed the ‘spirit world’. One

such a person with intellectual heritage is Baba Credo Mutwa. He carries the knowledge of realm of the sacred

inaccessible to most people ( Linda Tucker, The Children of Sun God, 2001, and Credo Mutwa, Indaba , My

Children, 1965, Song of the Stars,1996) 2 this carries two meaning (a) that information that was denied the African people about their great discoveries and

great knowledge, (b) in the words of Credo Mutwa ‘In Africa we find many stories which seem at first glance rather

childish and primitive but which on closer examination are revealed to hide mind-boggling facts about the depths of

knowledge our forefathers possessed …. These long-forgotten people reveal in stories wisdom that they handed

down to us over the missed centuries. The fact is that they were wiser that we are and possessed knowledge

regarding things of which we are only now becoming aware.” ( Indaba, My children,1965) 3 This is an extract from the PhD thesis by Dr Otsile Ntsoane. The citations can be obtained in full from the author

himself. No part of this should be reproduced, cited or circulated without prior permission from the author. The
